Yesterday miss. Martindale put us in to home groups for our topic work. We each had to choose a different religion to go and become experts about. Because our topic is splash we had to find out how water was important in each of the religions. Also more stuff about that religion like how many gods they had and lots more and like where they worship. It was fun to become experts. Today we went back to our home groups and did a presentation .Our religions that we researched were Sikhism,Islam,Judaism ,Christianity and Hinduism. Now we know some information about all of these religions.
Please write a comment to tell us what you learned.
on Year 4 have been writing newspaper reports about the awful incident that happened to Little Red Riding Hood’s granny. Here is one completed report.
Wolf On The Prowl!!! Reported by Aaliya
Last night at midnight a blood thirsty wolf attacked
Grandmother at her own cosy cottage. We have no evidence
Yet but still we will have an interview with William the wolf and
Hopefully get more evidence.
After interviews we heard that William wolf had broke in the grandmother’s cottage and locked her in the cupboard. As soon as he broke in he grabbed Emma Smith and pushed her to the ground. Then he put her in the cupboard and locked her in with a metal chain. We had a chat with Little Red Riding Hood and this is what she said “I was terrified when the wolf came in but luckily the woodcutter saved me.” Grandma said she has got over the attack and she is all better now.
Wolf Found!!
Yesterday wicked William wolf was found hiding in the trees refilling some deadly weapons. He aimed them at us but luckily the police smacked them off him and he was taken to jail.
“I thought I got away with it if it weren’t for that medaling kid” said Mr Wolf to reporters after his arrest.
on Mysterious Box Arrived
By Aaliya
Yesterday during literacy a package arrived for Mrs. Griffiths it said it will be ok for a couple of days I will collect it next week Thanks. Most of 4G think that we should not open it because there might be something dangerous in there. Also the box said DO NOT OPEN. But half of the class thinks yes we should open the box to see what is inside. So we decided we needed to think a little bit more and decided we are going to send the box down to Mrs. Griffiths in nursery and ask her if it belongs to her. We can’t wait to open the box and see!!!
What would you do if you received a package or letter but were told not to open it?

on [slideshow]Today in year 4 we were making items for the story Jim and the Beanstalk. We had to use our measurements from yesterday and then times the measurements by 2, 3 or 4 and work with our partners from yesterday to make the giant items. We were measuring in centimeters and millimetres. Some pupils were making massive glasses, dentures, ears and pencils. Then we were using materials like silver foil for the spoons, knives and forks. The class had to make at least 3 giant items. It was lots of fun and exciting to make it. Did you find it fun and exiting? Also we were measuring other people’s features and accessories. We would like to make some more do you?

We have been learning about the earthquake and the tsunami that has caused so much devastation in Japan. We have read news articles, watched some video footage and read some emails from a friend of Miss Martindale’s who is a teacher in Japan. We used his emails to get some quotes to put into our reports.
Please comment with any facts you can find out about the Japanese earthquake. This could be facts from the news reports or scientific information about why the earthquake and tsunami happened.

Today in numeracy we have read Jim and the beanstalk. This book is about a boy called Jim. He climbs a plant and meets a giant. The giant had lots of problems like he couldn`t read any books so Jim went to the optitains and made him glasses. Also he couldn`t eat because he had no teeth so Jim went to the dentist to buy false teeth when he gave the giant the false teeth the giant was hungry so he thought of eating Jim but Jim ran outside and chopped the plant. A letter came falling down when Jim chopped the plant. On the letter it said Dear Jim thank you for the glasses and the false teeth by your friend giant. Tomorrow we will be making giant objects. Today we have been measuring different things in the class room also objects for E.G spoons, forks, knives and bowls so that we know how big they are. We had to measure carefully. Tomorrow we will be making GIANT things like ears glasses gold coins and teeth.
